HORSE-POWER 'MOTOR SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No.311,737, dated February 3 1885.

Application tiled September 30, 1884.

T0 all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, PETER FIsHER, of Oak Greek, in the county ofMilwaukee, and in the State of Wisconsin, have invented certain new anduseful Improvements in Horse -Power Motors; and I do hereby declare thatthe following is a full, clear, and exact descriptionv thereof.

My invention relates to improvements in horsepower motors, and will betally described hereinafter.

In the drawings, Figure lis a top plan view of my improved device, andFig. 2 a vertical section through the center of the same.

A indicates the driving-wheel of my motor, which :is pivoted in thecenter of the crossframe B on the pin a. The felly A is supported aslight distance inward -from the outer rim of the wheel,between the topand bottom framing of the same, the recess thus formed therein beingdesigned to receive the drivingchain C; and in order to give to thislatter a better grip around the wheel and prevent its tendency to slip,I may provide castings (not shown in the drawings) the outer edges oi'which are made of a shape to tit the chainlinks, and which may bescrewed at points about six inches apart around the felly. A strip orrail, a', is fastened in the under side of the wheel A,close to itsouter rim, and this strip bears evenly on the rollers DD, that aremounted in the path of the driving-wheel in the brackets d d, fastenedto the arms of the cross-frame B.

E is the draft-pole, to which the horses are hitched, and E istheguiding-pole. Thelong arm of the cross-frame B forms with the bar Panother but smaller cross, and in the ceuter of this cross and on thebolt F is pivoted the power-transmitting gear F. rIhis gear has in itstop the grooved chain-wheel f, around which the driving-chain G iscarried. and below the said wheel f and integral with or suitablyfastened onto it is the .bevelcogged wheel f. This latter meshes withthe bevel- (No model.)

pinion g, fastened on the in ner end of the driving-shaft G, which isjourualed in the bearingboxg', bolted ont-o and near the outer end oi'the cross-frame. This frameis-maintained in place ou the ground in theusual manner, as u mitting gear E, so as to bring the said chain incloser contact with the grooved rim ot' the wheelf, and give it atighter grip around the same.

In order to prevent any damage resulting from exposure of themaster-.wheel to the Weather, the top framing ofthe said wheel is madein the shape oi' a low cone, this arrangement permitting of therainwater readily tlowing down toward the rim and oft'.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire tosecure by Letters Patent, is-

In a horsepower motor, the combination of the master-wheel A.pivotingpin ct, draft-pole E, guide-pole E', crosst'ramc B B", bracketsl d, rollers D D, chain C, transmittiuggear Il, with grooved pinion fand bevel-wheel f, bars H I-I, with guiding-plates It It', idler I,pivoting-pin i, bevel-pinion g, bearing-box g", and shaft G,substantially as shown and dcscribed, and for the pui-pose set forth.

In testimony that I claim the foregoing I have hereunto set my hand, atMilwaukee, in the county oi' Milwaukee and State otl Vis cousin, in thelpresence of two witnesses.

PETER FISHER.
